The group was formerly Coed School‘s male unit until they became an independent group in 2013. In late 2015, MBK Entertainment removed their profile page from the official website and it was reported that the group was disbanded.

After serving in the military for his conscripted duty and missing out on many trends, Jaejoong expressed his confusion after being gifted a flower crown.

During his first fan meeting event after being released from the military, a fan gave JYJ‘s Jaejoong a beautiful flower crown with pink roses. After putting on the flower crown on himself, he put on a white flower crown on the fan too.

In response to the gift, Jaejoong asked the fan where she got the flower crown from and told his fans not to buy flower crowns just because he wore one.

Unaware of what other idols were doing, Jaejoong also asked whether wearing such accessories was a popular trend nowadays.

Lee Hyori was featured in Elle magazine’s March edition and her photos were a sure reminder of who owns the title of Korea’s sexiest diva.

Lee Hyori’s photoshoot with Elle magazine took place in a vintage apartment in New York, and her sex appeal and stylish fashion sense reminded everyone that she was once the epitome of sexy. In these photos, Lee Hyori rocked vintage outfits to match the photoshoot background such as a floral bomber jacket and patchy denim shorts, as well as suits to highlight her charisma.

Lee Hyori’s absence from the music scene led to a change in her image to a more simple and reserved one, as she opted to live on Jeju Island, in a rustic yet modern cottage-like house.

With the photoshoot in Elle, she proved once again that she could bring sexy back whenever she pleased.

K.A.R.D confessed that dancing provocatively with the opposite sex members of the group was the most awkward part of being in a co-ed group.

K.A.R.D is unique in that they’re one of the only idol groups with both female and male members. With K.A.R.D, the co-ed concept is fresh and group dynamics are still new for the members and fans as well.

In their songs “Don’t Recall” and “Oh NaNa” the female members twerk during the dance breaks. As the male dancers are actual members and not just back dancers, K.A.R.D admitted that this made things awkward at first as the dance was provocative.

As the members got closer, they got used to dancing like this. K.A.R.D’s Jiwoo said the following regarding the dancing.

“Even though it is uncomfortable to dance like this with our members, we had to get used to it because even if it’s awkward – it’s more awkward for viewers if they sense that tension between us. That’s why we got over the awkward stages and did our best with the dancing.”

It was also brought up that they members have had to change clothes in the same area before. Now they need at least one extra room for changing, but in the past, it’s suggested that they had to change together. All members nodded in agreement that it was awkward.

With KARA‘s contract expiration date nearing with DSP Media, many netizens are suspecting that the group will not renew their contract and will instead disband.

On Pann, a netizen published on December 24th a post titled “Girl group who will disband,” naming girl group KARA and wrote, “Next year, KARA will enter their 9th year. Their contract is reaching near its end. Rumors going amongst fans is that Park Gyuri will be going to an film acting agency and Goo Hara will enter SM C&C. I don’t know about Han Seungyeon, but there is talk that none of these three will renew their contract.”

DSP Media confirmed back in October 2015 that Park Gyuri, Han Seungyeon, and Goo Hara’s contract with the agency would indeed be expiring at the end of the year though a confirmation of a renewal has yet to be reported.

KARA originally debuted in 2007 as a four-member girl group (Gyuri, Seungyeon, Nicole,Sunghee) before going through their first lineup change in 2008. Member Sunghee left and the group welcomed two additional members, Hara and Jiyoung, where they found success as a group.

In 2011, the group underwent controversy when all of the members minus group leader Gyuri filed a suit against DSP Media, requesting contract termination. Goo Hara withdrew from the suit and rejoined the company, and four months later, the agency resolved their issues with the three remaining members.

In January 2014, Nicole officially withdrew from KARA after deciding not to renew her contract with Jiyoung also leaving with her own contract expiring in April 2014. A new member was recruited, Youngji, who joined on July 1st following the conclusion of the KARA Project.

Large entertainment companies such as SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment, or JYP Entertainment have many popular groups that help them stay in business.

However, smaller companies often rely on the success of just one or two groups. Netizens recently discussed several male idol groups who are the main source of revenue for their respective entertainment companies. Without the success of these groups, their companies might not be in business today.

Popular Korean magazine Woman Sense is making rounds on netizen forums for releasing a rumor report that a girl group member caught an STD from a male group member.

The article reads as follows:

Around mid last year, an informant told us that girl group member A and top idol group member B was spending time together at a hotel near Tokyo. Based on the time of day they met, their individual hotel room numbers, and the color of the clothes they were wearing, the evidence all supports the fact that the two were indeed spending time together.

Oddly, A was on on the group’s Japanese tour at the time, and had postponed all other important activities from Korea to focus solely on their Japanese concerts. It leaves one to wonder how A could find time to spend on dates. The members practically spent all day together, eating, and sleeping together. It would be next to impossible to avoid the eyes of the other members, so how did she do it?

A arrived in Japan before the other members and reserved a room on the same floor as where she and the other members were staying, and invited B to stay in that room. After her schedules, late at night, she secretly went over to the room B was staying in. They ate, played video games, and board games, among other things. When she returned to her members, she would tell them, ‘I went to exercise.’

The two kept their relationship secret and enjoyed their relationship but in the end were caught. During the concert, A collapsed from pain in her stomach and was diagnosed with an STD. The member and the company were extremely angry at this news and she completed her schedules depending on injections and medicine. She is still known to be treating her condition.

This wasn’t the end of the couples incidents. The two of them appeared often at a club in Gangnam, and surprised everyone with their strong show of love for each other. They sometimes spend time privately in a room, and at times got on stage and danced. At one time, B was surrounded by girls and A got angry and fought with him in front of all the other clubbers.

Their love for each other tracks back to last spring. The two didn’t fall for each other right away, but during the program they naturally grew close together and started developing feelings for each other.

B made a move first, visiting her at her home and for a month, he appealed to her sometimes showing his cute charms and sometimes acting strong. Their mutual friends helped in making the relationship happen. When A was unsure of B, those who knew Bcomplimented him. In reality, he is known to be a kind-hearted person who values friendship and trust above all. He has a very unique face, amazing talent and is also very good with words and is the ideal type of many women.

A is also a top star among top stars in the idol industry. Her sexy body along with her innocent face makes her sought after among many men. Her weight loss has also recently been a topic of issue.

Witness reports of their dates still continue six months after the incident. Whether A is holding up well against B‘s powerful manliness is apparently a topic of much interest among idol stars.”

Netizens have since been attempting to find out who ‘A’ and ‘B’ is but have come to a consensus that Woman Sense has probably switched dates in order to prevent people from finding out their identities too easily.

t has recently been revealed that SISTAR‘s Soyou, who was previously announced to be appearing in an upcoming episode of KBS2‘s 1 Night 2 Days, will not be able to join as planned.
